Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
